\pard\f1\fs24 Lara paced the office back and forth\'85 The door knocked. Lara answered. \ldblquote Oh, Ben, come in.\rdblquote Lara said.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote I\rquote\lang2057 m not here to chat, I\lang1033\rquote\lang2057 m here to discuss the danger of an artefact in Egypt.\rdblquote Ben said sternly.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Ah, work time.\rdblquote Lara replied sarcastically. Ben slammed his books on the desk.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote This is no time for jokes!\rdblquote He shouted across the office. \lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote I\rquote\lang2057 ll be sensible if you\'85 TELL ME ABOUT THIS ARTEFACT!\rdblquote Lara shouted back.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Ok, this artefact is owned by some ancient monks in Egypt, they will use its magic and power to destroy the world and make it theirs!\rdblquote Ben lectured for half an hour.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Ok, so I have to run to Egypt, grab the artefact, save the world and kill the monks then? Lara asked.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Yes, supposable.\rdblquote Ben muttered. \lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Where about in Egypt?\rdblquote Lara asked.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Just off of Cairo,\rdblquote Ben replied.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Ok, I\rquote\lang2057 ll meet you at the Croft Estate in 2 hours, pack your bags and bring them with you.\rdblquote Lara ordered.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Cool!\rdblquote Ben said.\lang2057\par
\par
Lara walked about the Croft estate. This artefact sounded serious, if the monks could destroy the world, Lara could be too early and they could have already done it. Ben walked into the Estate. \ldblquote Hi Lara!\rdblquote Ben said cheerfully.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Hi, before we go, run it by me again, monks have an artefact and where do I come in?\rdblquote Lara asked.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote You must go to Egypt, there is a headquarters where we will discuss our plan. That\rquote\lang2057 s where you come in.\rdblquote Ben told Lara.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Ok, how are we travelling to this headquarters?\rdblquote Lara asked Ben.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote In a secret train, it\rquote\lang2057 s in the desert, no-one has ever found it.\rdblquote Ben said.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Where do we get the plane?\rdblquote Lara asked.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote It\rquote\lang2057 s in a desert in Cambodia.\rdblquote Ben told Lara.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote How do we get there?\rdblquote Lara asked, yet again.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote In a helicopter.\rdblquote Ben said.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote In a \lang2057\i helicopter\i0 ?\rdblquote Lara asked.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Yes, first we\rquote\lang2057 ll go to the helicopter airport on the top of the VCI headquarters.\rdblquote Ben told Lara. \par
\lang1033\ldblquote Ok, lets go!\rdblquote Lara replied.\lang2057\par
\par
Lara ran through the cold hallways of the VCI headquarters. She found the fire escape and she went to the roof- that\lang1033\rquote\lang2057 s where Bens helicopter would take off. On the roof, Ben turned around and looked at a woman, wearing a jet-black cat suit, it was Lara! \ldblquote Oh, Ben, this is where we leave to Cambodia isn\lang1033\rquote\lang2057 t it?\rdblquote Lara asked.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Y- yes!\rdblquote Ben stuttered. Lara climbed into the helicopter, Ben followed suit. The helicopter flew away, off to Cambodia.\lang2057\par
Later on in the flight, the plane stopped. \ldblquote What\lang1033\rquote\lang2057 s going on?\rdblquote Lara asked the pilot. He turned around. \par
\lang1033\ldblquote Nothing, just thinking about where to crash the helicopter.\rdblquote The pilot said. \lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote You wouldn\rquote\lang2057 t dare.\rdblquote Lara said.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Oh, yes I will!\rdblquote The pilot jumped at Lara. Lara dodged him and he crashed into the wall. \lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Fly the plane!\rdblquote Lara told Ben. Lara kicked the pilot and got her guns out; she started shooting at the pilot. The bullet missed the pilot and shot the wall of the helicopter. The wall shook, Lara shot at the man, this bullet banged the wall again, and the helicopter swished in the air and fell down to the ground. Lara grabbed Ben and jumped out the helicopter with him. The plane exploded in the air. \lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote You are one crazy girl!\rdblquote Ben told Lara.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Anything to save myself.\rdblquote Lara said.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Oh gosh! There\rquote\lang2057 s the train!\rdblquote Ben told Lara.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Oh my god, it is!\rdblquote Lara said. She pulled Ben up and they ran to see what was happening.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Will we get on?\rdblquote Lara asked.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Yeah!\rdblquote Ben said. \lang2057\par
They jumped on top of the train and went in through a hole in the roof. Inside was not what they expected. Three men where holding machine guns in there hands. They started shooting. Lara kicked one of the men and knocked him out. Ben picked up his gun and killed another soldier. Lara punched a man and he fell to the floor. They continued through the train. They sneaked up behind the driver and banged him on the head. Lara took his place and drove the train to Egypt. \par
\par
In Egypt, they stopped they train about a mile away from the station- because if anyone found out they had intruded they would be dead! So they went out of the train and walked to the station. Lara took Ben and herself to the City Hotel. They got cleaned up and went to bed. \par
\par
The next day, Lara and Ben went to the Cairo City Headquarters. The entered the main room. At the end of a long table sat a tall fat man. \ldblquote I\lang1033\rquote\lang2057 ve been expecting you!\rdblquote He said\'85\par
\lang1033\ldblquote What do you mean by that?\rdblquote Lara asked.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote I mean that I saw you intrude the train, I know why you are here.\rdblquote He said.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Oh do you?\rdblquote Lara asked.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Yes, you are here to find the Antrus, a great artefact which can destroy the world.\rdblquote He said. Lara assumed this was the name of the artefact Ben had told her about.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Yes we are, although we don\rquote\lang2057 t want to use its power, we want to destroy it!\rdblquote Lara said.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote What? Destroy it? Are you mad? If you lay a finger on that you will be my humble slave. The monks did a spell to make an energy shield around it, you are forbidden to touch it!\rdblquote He replied.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote If you want to destroy the world, you destroy me first!\rdblquote Lara barked.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote No problem!\rdblquote He said.\lang2057\par
Before Lara knew it, the man had whacked her to the ground, and knocked her out\'85\par
Later on, Lara woke up from her sleep. She was not in the quarters for sure. She looked about- she was in a dark temple, beside her was Ben, on front of her was a platform, yes there it was- The Antrus! Lara jolted to it. She couldn\lang1033\rquote\lang2057 t, she was chained up to a wall! So was Ben. Ben woke up. \ldblquote What\lang1033\rquote\lang2057 s happened?\rdblquote He asked.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Were in the temple, we\rquote\lang2057 ve found the Antrus!!!\rdblquote\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Yeah, but, how do we get it when were tied to a wall?\rdblquote He asked.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote I\rquote\lang2057 ve got a plan, watch!\rdblquote Lara replied.\par
One of the monks approached them. He mumbled some words, suddenly; a large purple sphere was floating in the air. \ldblquote Antrus, destroya, decoyta, informada!!!\rdblquote The monk shouted. The bubble whammed to the wall, Lara ducked and it burned her chains.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Ahh!\rdblquote The monk said. Lara got her chains and strangled the monk. Lara kicked him unconscious. Lara approached the Antrus. A monk grabbed her from behind. Lara knocked him out and shot at the Antrus. A huge shield around the Antrus exploded. Lara picked up the Antrus and went over to Ben.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Well, I\rquote\lang2057 ve got the Antrus and I\lang1033\rquote\lang2057 ve killed the monks.\rdblquote She told Ben.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Ah, yes I\rquote\lang2057 m afraid there\lang1033\rquote\lang2057 s one more thing.\rdblquote Ben said.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote What?\rdblquote Asked Lara.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Him!\rdblquote He said.\lang2057\par
Lara turned around, the man from the quarters was there. He approached Lara and punched her. Lara dodged it and kicked him. He punched Lara\lang1033\rquote\lang2057 s face and then Lara shot him one hundred times! He died! Lara and Ben climbed out of the temple and went back to the croft manor!\par
\par
At the Croft manor, Lara was in her gym. Ben entered, Lara swung and jumped from a pole to a rope and landed on the ground. \ldblquote Hi Ben!\rdblquote She said.\par
\lang1033\ldblquote Hi Lara, I thought you were great at the temple.\rdblquote He said.\lang2057\par
\lang1033\ldblquote I\rquote\lang2057 ve got you something!\rdblquote He said. A model of a monster popped up and Ben said, \ldblquote This should help you with your combat!\rdblquote \par
Lara picked up her pistols and shot away at the monster\'85\par
